The 4 Seasons

Never never had a chance here. Always looked like mostly a mixed mess nop with a couple/few well north

That's our chance, mid month time period. After that it starts getting really dicey climo wise around our area

Tell me about it

Thrilling stuff lmk how much you get

OKX Upton COOP must not because they are always coming in low like central park. look at this event they are the only <20 around them so i had to put a hole there.

He said to Commercial Traffic. Meaning out of state trucks couldn't pass through the state, commercial vehicles/tractor trailers were banned from the highway. I remember this specifically happening for this storm its happened many times in CT, no commercial traffic so out of state trucks had to turn around or get pulled over and fined.

yea that sounds about right, for me it was always the (top end +200% of bottom) or X-2X. and cap it around 12. I see weird ranges like 4-12" all the time but its usually in high elevation change situations. The hysteria was pretty off the charts, even for back then. Imagine if that was 2026.. based on strictly snowfall forecasts from the NWS it actually wasn't a bust here since the WSW/Zones were like 10-18 for coastal CT and 13-23 for interior southern zones.

It was all a dream, i used to read Word Up! magazine

1-3 FEET of accumulation is such a weird and kind of a cop out range if you think about it. 12-36". Having a range where your highest end is double the lowest end is the most you should do (with the exception being 1-3") other than that the high end of the range should be 200% or less of the bottom. 12-36" is kinda ridiculous. I saw BOX did 20-36" for the worcester hills. just my take

Yeah i remember TWC graphics going from an all snow icon to the wintry mix icon knew we were about to get screwed. But it wasn't that bad after all. Kocin was nervous as hell on air. Even with the "meh" snowfall totals and shitty accumulations near the coast it was still truly a beast superstorm that completely stalled for days

lol ive never seen 20" from a single storm (except 96 but i dont remember that) i thoroughly enjoyed that storm, despite only getting 16" ish inches. And the fact we got a full on snow and sleet blizzard for nearly 65 hours was pretty unique and memorable. Plus we got like 3 days off from school which never happened from a snowstorm. It was always a day off and maybe a delay the second if you're lucky. I do feel like if that repeated in 2026 there would be a lot of meltdowns on this forum. Not knowing anything about models and forecasting back then i think saved me a bit from being overly invested in huge amounts.

Just like Dec 2020.

im doubting they ever will... i always wondered if Mar 2023 should be on there too, as like a Cat 1. I know it was interior but it was an absolute nuke with 30-45" amounts. None of the big cities really got in on that but niether did Mar 1-3, 2018 and that is a NESIS level event. though im way more confident that Jan 2026 should def be on there than that storm

The V5 is much more tame and its going operational soon to replace the current one

its weighs a lot of the hi res garbage models like WRFs, SREFs, HIRESW, 3K, RAP etc and those were super amped and inside BM for a while pummeling all of SNE so it was no surprise it was very high until the end. It was also way too high for Jan 25-26 until the end it came to reality, kept showing 20-30 for most of CT with ridiculous ratios

definitely for there and NYC, dont even mention it to them. @MJO812favorite storm ever! he might block me now

they love the NBM, and guess what the NBM looks like that, so no surprise i just posted your fav storm btw, a new thread

cool thanks steve i appreciate you reaching out and letting me know. i guess that 79.9 was from somewhere else or a typo? either way at least we got a cocorahs near by for now buts its technically not N Foster, its 4SSE Foster

enjoy i NEED snow

It's the 25th anniversary of the infamous March 4-6th, 2001 Blizzard. I've remapped this event now for about the 5th or 6th time and feel I've gotten as close to approximating what happened as i can get and included a new L. Northeast map. As this is a special historic event i also put together a couple of additional graphics, a town by town snowfall list and all 3 of the big storms of Winter 2000-2001. Mar 2001, Feb 2001 and Dec 2000 are the three big storms that really got me into weather at a young age and love for the extreme snowstorms and especially thundersnow. JDJ March 4-6th, 2001 Page - Our snowfall maps, full radar and surface map animations and additional images PolarWX Reanalysis - Tomer Burg's site with a reanalysis of the storm from the ECMWF Weathernet6 Archive - Steve LaPointe's Archive (scroll down and click on March 4-6th, 2001 on the left hand panel) Ray's Winter Storm Archive - Ray's March 4-6th, 2001 dedicated page Personal Recounting The first memory i have about this storm was turning on the local news on Friday night and hearing a teaser about "a storm we could be measuring in feet". All weekend i was flipping back and forth between TWC and local news stations. I remember seeing Kocin on air at the time talking about it could be the biggest snowstorm in NYC in 50 years (probably referring to 1947). When Sunday morning came the whole state and pretty much the east coast, was shut down and preparing for the incoming storm. Light snow broke out in the mid morning hours and continued throughout the day. By dark we had a couple inches on the ground and here came the sleet. It was nothing but a pelting all night long and into the day on Tuesday. At this point it could have been a massive bust but the storm really blew up and the radar filled in and heavy snow backed in from the east/southeast. A full blown blizzard was occuring during the evening and into the overnight hours. We were out snowmobiling up and down the streets with plows unable to keep up and most likely focused on the highways and main roads. By morning on Tuesday, a couple inches of snow & sleet mix turned into over a foot of new snow with light to moderate snow still falling. Throughout the day Tuesday snow continued to fall and seemed like it would never end, over 48 hours later. Snow finally came to an end around midnight, Wednesday about 64-65 hours after it had started. This one of the few surviving radar stills from WeatherTap on March 5th at 9PM. The file size is way too big to attach here, you can click on the link to my page above if you want to see the full radar loop. Here is also a sfc map gif i put together. Snowfall Maps This was probably the most brutal storm to ever put together with widely varying snowfall totals and incomplete PNS reports. The BOX PNS is terrible but it at least has dates and times next to the reports so its easy to see the ones that aren't final. The OKX PNS is even worse. The official snowfall totals at climate sites are almost certainly wrong at many sites. The BDR official is 15.5 which seems reasonable until you see some of the reports nearby that are a lot lower. BDL is almost certainly wrong and too low. ORH, according to Will, stopped reporting so its probably slightly too low, and so on. I put together a town by town list of some selected reports and all 3 big storms and snowfall totals combined. And of course the best video on the internet

RGEM/GEM remain the warmest but are slowly caving colder a bit.

Snowfall Totals for this kitchen sink event

It was great here but disappointing at the same time seeing areas in every direction get crushed with 20-30". But i can't be mad at a 17" snowstorm...that's still major in my book and probably on par with biggest ive seen. One day ill get to see what a 20+ or two foot storm looks like... Definitely the worst blizzard conditions ive ever seen by far. Still catching up on past maps from Feb 20, Feb 25, Mar 1, Mar 3-4 which will be done shortly.
